You guys, I saw this at Pan African and it was absolutely fantastic. Stunning cinematography, great writing and great acting. We are finally getting realistic child acting, with kids who don’t sound like they are in an Oliver Twist musical. This feature was thoughtfully done with a fabulous message. Everyone please go support this film. It’s not trauma porn. I promise :-)

Ask yourself, why do they always make similar emotional movies about black people? Thru our emotions, comes our problems. Why don’t they ever make movies about blacks thriving, blacks being hero’s, you know, the best images of black people. Why is it always struggle?

@@WeGetItOutTheMudTv I can't agree with you more! Movies depicting our pain instead of our joys, stability, our growth are few and far in-between. Black life in America is not monolithic. We all grew up different, some lived as the Huxtables, some lived like Evans' and some lived like Kings and Queens. We have a huge spectrum in American Black Life. You are most definitely right about this! The movie looks great but is it just persisting the stereotype of black urban life?

I will watch anything Journee is in, amazing actress. Definitely will be looking for this❤

Why does it feel like "The Last Black Man in San Francisco"? Beautiful

Anything that shows Cabrini Green I’m watching.

I can relate to this on a personal level as my father and his thirteen siblings grew up in the heart of Cabrini. He persevered through so much while sadly many of them were induced in the challenges of the hood. Can't wait to see this, and tell his story one day.

Indie Films are always tear jerkers

This looks amazing. As someone from Chicago I can’t wait to see the city and Cabrini Green throughout this story. 💕

I’m from Cabrini Green so I can’t wait to see this movie 🍿 much support and love ❤️

This looks beautiful and I definitely wanna see it!

Felt like I was watching a prequel to The Last Black Man in San Francisco. Loved that movie, so definitely looking forward to this.

Looking Forward to seeing this.

Love the visual inspiration from Gordon Sparks. This movie is lit and colored with love.

When is it dropping. Seems interesting, I'd like to watch.

Something about a grown man with grays in his beard telling a minor male that he's grown now and knows right from wrong is just….. 🥴🥴🥴

Why is it every time they make a movie about a Black experience, they always cast a biracial person in a lead role? They couldn't get a Black actress to play the boy's mom instead of Jurnee Smollett?

Beautiful movie, but missing a storyline or conflict arch. Still, it captures a time, an all too familiar black household growing up in the 70's. It captures the struggle and the disadvantage some face. 1 in 4 black boys wind up in prison or probation. 80 of black children born out-of-wedlock. Black women today sing/rap "I ain't looking for no man" on hit record. DEI under attack. Gerrymandering circles around black neighborhoods. Systemic racism in family court and in the criminal justice system. It is a tough time to be a black male in America.

Great actors. Seems like a beautiful movie. But, this is an aspect of the Black experience, not the norm of the Black experience. Most Black Americans do not live in the projects. Most Black Americans do not live in the inner city. Most Black Americans are not poor. Please start showing us as the middle and working class people that we are in this society. Please and thank you.

Can we have we stop committing crime now?

There is an obsession that associates black people with struggle and problems in black movies.

The movie targeted audience is Black women. And Black women only knows struggle, bickering with other women, and the fantasy of being desired by White men.

Why do they always cast the lightest brightest women and girls alongside their black male counterparts? Whether it’s wives, mothers, sisters, love interests, etc. was jurnee the only actress available? Love her down but colorism is so blatant and boring in black stories.

I'm sure this is good, but uh it also looks depressing as hell, so yeah I'll pass

Am good, tired of these types of stories. Lets go back to the emerald tablets and do a movie about that

Monolith type material🙄🤦🏽‍♀️

I know this is not going to be a popular opinion, but I am sick and tired of seeing Black people fighting against their neighborhoods to get out of the neighborhood which involves usually fighting or having to deal with other Black people and it seems like that’s our story, and those are the only family that seem to get made, and I am lately sick of it! I thought that possibly this was a true story, which would be the only need to make a story like this because there’s so many of stories like these, and I’m sick of them, I would rather save more realistic stories of how Black people have to deal with being worked over again, and again, not getting the recognition they deserve again, and again, let’s see those type of movies, and not the type of movie of all Black people, seemingly coming from the hood and having to overcome those odds when there are blacks who are from the suburbs, and have just as many difficulties, because of the negativity that we endure as a whole from society, for whatever reason! So background doesn’t matter because like the movie is titled, when you’re grown and you’re an adult black person you deal with the problem in the same as someone who is from what they deem the hood or the ghetto! Those issues are just as important I’m not saying they’re not. I’m just saying, can we make more realistic movies that deal with Black people as a whole and stop making these movies that separate us as a people! We know that there is white trailer parked what we would call ghettos as much as there are Asian ghettos as much as there are Indian ghettos ….showing no matter what the race, but those races are not shown in the same light why is that! And you wonder why we stay separate continuously because you (media studio exes) don’t want to address those problems! And you know Black people are going to go support it just because they have very limited choices and they like the actors because there’s one thing when you go see a black movie you’re going to get good acting, hands-down i.e. Angela Bassett deserving the Emmy and not an honorary one that wasn’t televised……….

Look at the title,think of all the black children that think they’re grown already and don’t wanna listen to adults. These movies are sick

"Black Struggle Movies" are made for Black female audiences. And to add insult, this movie was written and directed by a Pakistani American who basically re-wrote her previous works which featured Pakistani Americans and their trials in life, and just recasted the characters with Black people. And who was the co-producer....A White guy. (lol)
